Tears continued streaming down Keeley's face as they made their way to the parking lot. Her ears burned with embarrassment. She really wasn't the type of person to cry in public. Aaron's hand had been in hers the entire time they walked, steering her away from light poles and cars and other people so she wouldn't have to look up. It was a thoughtful thing to do and it made her cry harder. When they finally reached the car, he sighed heavily and pulled her in for a hug. "Come here, cry it all out."…

"That reminds me," Aaron said nonchalantly. "I'm going on a business trip this weekend. Would you like me to bring you back a souvenir?" Keeley's eyes widened with shock. No one in either of her lives had ever offered to bring her back a souvenir from anywhere. "I really don't need anything," she insisted. "Please don't feel obligated. Where are you going?" "Monaco. I'm looking to expand there." Right. This was around the time Aaron expanded overseas in her last life. They had already started…

Keeley arrived home from another long day in the lab ready to keel over. One of her samples got contaminated somehow so she had to scrap an entire trial. This would delay her research by a minimum of two weeks. She ran into Aiden outside her front door and he looked concerned when he saw the state she was in. "Rough day?" "Yeah," she said with a heavy sigh. "There was a lab accident and it totally screwed up my research project. I have to start one of my trials over." "Yikes. Sorry about that. If…

Cameron had been texting Jennica all throughout his lunch break Monday morning and was in an excellent mood, despite Aiden's teasing. Not even being called into Aaron's office and being hit by a wall of ice could dampen his mood. "What are you so happy about?" he asked in a deadly tone. "Absolutely nothing," Cameron said, trying to hide his smile. Aaron's eyes narrowed but he dropped it and gestured for him to sit. He shuffled a stack of papers before handing them over to Cameron to read. He…

Jennica had been texting Cameron for hours about all sorts of random things because neither of them wanted the conversation to end. She didn't notice it was nearly 11 PM until Valentina came home. "Is Keeley not back yet?" she asked as she hung up her coat. Looking around, Jennica realized she hadn't even noticed that Keeley had left. Oops. She noticed that she had a message in her inbox from her that was time stamped as being sent hours ago but hadn't been opened. "She's staying at her dad's and…

Concentrating on her homework after coming home from Aaron's place was a near impossible task so Keeley gave up and decided to spend the night in her old bedroom back home. She could use her dad's advice right now. When she opened the front door using her key, her father was watching a football game on TV and looked up in shock. "Honeybun! What are you doing here? I thought you were busy today." She smiled in self-deprecation. "Am I not allowed to visit my favorite person on a day other than…

Keeley scrutinized the stranger next to her at the table because she realized she didn't know this timeline's Aaron Hale at all anymore. He was wearing a long-sleeved tee shirt and sweatpants—actual lounge clothes!—and was petting a cat while talking to her like a normal person with feelings. It was bizarre. Absolutely bizarre. This man looked identical to her ex-husband and had a lot of the same mannerisms but aside from that he was like a completely different person. He wasn't quite as bossy,…

Keeley steeled herself by taking a deep breath as she stood in front of Aaron's gigantic luxurious apartment complex. Once she went in, there would be no going back. Unfortunately, she couldn't doorbell ditch him either since she didn't have the elevator key. Her plan was to go in, pet the cat for a few minutes, and leave by claiming she had homework to do (which was actually true). She stepped into the grand lobby and approached the doorman at the desk. "Hi, I'm here to see Aaron Hale? He lives in…

Jennica wouldn't stop talking about Cameron for days after Halloween, which was how Keeley found herself listening to her roommate ramble as she made those blasted marshmallow brownies on Saturday morning. "…I have never met a guy like him before. He knows how to dance while skating, has a dog, is family-oriented, AND is super down-to-earth even though he's rich. He seemed completely normal; I never would have guessed! What's the catch?" "I don't know Jen, why don't you text him and find out?" she…

Aiden had far too much fun ribbing Cameron about his not-so-subtle crush on his neighbor in the cafeteria the day after Halloween. How could he not? The first thing he did after sitting down was ask everything he knew about the girl, trying and failing to look nonchalant about it. "Well, what do you know already? I don't want to repeat information unnecessarily," he said in a teasing tone. Cameron sighed. "Literally all I know is that she knows how to dance, loves Halloween, is from Ohio, and got…
